You asked him? Why, Aqua! That's wonderful! And so very like the both of you. I'm so glad, and I would love to help any way I can! How would you like me to be a part of it? Anything you need, I would be honored.

[lightblooming]

[ Aqua's smile softens at her reaction. Snow's always so sweet, she can't help but feel a little happier when she's around. ]

Thank you so much, Snow. ... I was wondering if you could be one of the Bridesmaids. You've become so important to Ven, Terra, and I that it wouldn't feel right if you weren't a part of it in some way.

[onebadapple]

A- a bridesmaid? Me? Really?

[No one has ever asked her to be a bridesmaid. To be involved in some aspect, yes, but a bridesmaid? She's stunned and her eyes start to well up.]

No one has... asked me to be a part of their wedding before.

[lightblooming]

Of course, Snow. I'd be honored if you wanted to be in the wedding.

[ She pauses when she sees those tears, eyes widening. She reaches then, putting a reassuring hand on Snow's shoulder. ]

... Are you alright, Snow? I didn't mean to upset you.

[onebadapple]

I-I'm not upset! I'm just so happy! I didn't... [She wiped her eyes.

No one has ever asked me that before, and it's just one of the nicest things - I would be honored, yes, of course, I will! Would you like me to make the cake as well?

[lightblooming]

[ She reaches for Snow's hand, gently taking it into her own. ]

... You've become like a mother to me here. If a wedding is as important as they say - then I'd be honored if you really do want to.

[onebadapple]

[She blinked at being called a mother when she was rather sure that Aqua was older, but she was instantly reminded of the dwarfs and nodded.]

I'm honored, Aqua, truly. And I think a wedding is very important! I hope to be married someday! Being married and having children of my own is one of my greatest wishes!

[lightblooming]

[ Her mind goes to Snow's prince - and she smiles softly. ]

I'm sure that someday, your dream can come true. ... Sometimes, they're less out of reach to achieve than we realize.

[onebadapple]

Perhaps so. I can be patient, I've been this patient so far, after all.

[She had thought of maybe finding love here once upon a time, but those were...

Well, it didn't much matter, she could only hope that someday her prince would come here.]

I'm sure it will too, someday my dreams will come true. But! Enough about me, this is about you and your dreams!

[lightblooming]

[ She shakes her head at that. ]

No. If it's something that makes you happy to talk about, then... I'd like to hear it.

[onebadapple]

[Happy isn't really the word she would use.]

It's really alright, Aqua, we have to discuss your wedding, there's so much to get done, do you have a dress and wedding cake? Do you know how many bridesmaids you'll have?

[lightblooming]

Well... no. [ To all of that. ] There's still so much that Terra and I have to do.

[ But... there is a few things that they've already decided on - that Aqua's decided on. ]

[onebadapple]

Well, I've never been married and I likely won't be anytime soon, but if there's anything I can do to help, please let me know.

[lightblooming]

Of course. Though.... I there was something I was wondering if you'd like to do. We'll need a cake, when the time comes.

[onebadapple]

I'd love to make you a cake! I'm making one for Machina and Sheena, I would be happy to do it for you!

[lightblooming]

Thank you so much, Snow. I think if it's you, the wedding will be all that more special.

[onebadapple]

The wedding will be special because you love each other, Aqua, that's the most import buuut a cake never hurts a celebration, that's very true!

[lightblooming]

You're right, but-- I can't help but think that it's all the more important because all of our friends will be there.

[onebadapple]

Well, loved ones being there makes everything better!

[lightblooming]

You're right. [ She smiles softly before her expression falls a little. ]

But... there's something else that I wanted to talk to you about.

[onebadapple]

You know you can talk to me about anything else you might need, what is it?

[lightblooming]

[ Aqua goes silent for a moment. She knows she needs to tell Snow what Terra and her plan to do, but for some reason... it's a little difficult.

She places her hand over Snow's. ]

Terra and I... We're both so thankful for everything you've done for us. You were here for us when we first arrived in this world.

[onebadapple]

Well, of course. I'm so glad you're both so happy with me. I know how hard this can all be when you first get here. When I was first exiled from the castle I was at such a loss of what to do but being able to rely on the dwarfs really helped matters and I try to remember that for others!

[lightblooming]

You found a family. [ Aqua says softly. ] Just as we have here.

But, Terra and I... As appreciative as we are - we were also looking into buying a home of our own when the time comes.

[onebadapple]

I... yes... I...

[She swallows and looks away.]

It's... not that I don't understand... you're getting married after all...

[She's just... going to miss them. She takes a deep breath and puts on a smile, closing her eyes to hide that it doesn't reach them.]

I'm sure it will be a wonderful, beautiful home with warmth and love within.
